3:45 p.m. EDT July 31, 2015

OGDEN, Utah — A group of 21 Utah veterans will receive a full military service and funeral after going for nearly 20 years without a final resting place.

The Missing in America Project is honoring the veterans whose remains have been unclaimed in area mortuaries, the Standard Examiner reported.

The Aug. 1 service will be held at the Utah Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Bluffdale.

Eleven of the veterans are from Weber County and the other 10 are from Salt Lake County. Two veterans who have been in the care of family will also be included in the service. One soldier has been in the care of a mortuary for 18 years. Scissors-32x32.png
